Try starting with whole grains (ARA) — Getting a good start to your day takes a lot more than the alarm going off at the right time and avoiding traffic. What you eat in the morning can have an effect on your whole day — and your health. "Choosing whole grain at breakfast is a great first step in starting your day off on the right track," said Dr. Travis Stork, author and host of the Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show "The Doctors." "When grocery shopping, look for foods that list whole grain at the top of the ingredients list." Plenty of nutritious breakfast options will please any palate and pack a whole-grain punch, such as oatmeal and whole grain cereal, toast, waffles and pancakes. Only 5 percent of Americans get the recommended three full daily servings of whole grain, accord- ing to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. In fact, the average person gets little more than half a serving of whole grain each day. "It's concerning that Americans aren't getting enough whole grain, a key component of a healthy diet," said Stork. "Eating the recommended amount of whole grain can help with diabetes and weight management as well as reduce the risk of heart disease." Stork is partnering with General Mills to educate Americans about the importance of whole grain and how it's easy to eat a diet rich in whole grain by making the right choices — beginning with breakfast. Only whole grain provides vital nutrients found in the complete grain — including the bran, the germ and the endosperm — and the health benefits come from these three components working together naturally. In addition to fiber, whole grain contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients for a healthy diet. One of the simplest breakfast solutions for families with busy schedules is ready-to-eat cereal — but it's also one of the healthiest breakfast choices you can make. Cereal is the leading whole grain source for Americans as well as the top source of whole grain in children's diets. In fact, General Mills guarantees every Big G cereal — such as Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Chex — contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving.

Are you concerned about your infant's nutrition? Want quick tips to help you have a healthy pregnancy and healthy first year for your baby? Now expectant or new moms can easily get the information they need through a free service on their cell phones: text4baby. Text4baby provides timely pregnancy and health tips sent directly to participants' cell phones in the form of text messages. While 90 percent of people in the U.S. have cell phones, text4baby is the first free, health education program in the country to harness the popularity of texting as a mode of communication. Pregnant women and new mothers who text "BABY" (or "BEBE" for Spanish) to 511411 receive weekly text messages, timed to their due date or their baby's birth date through the baby's first year.

(ARA) — School lunches will be changing, thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's complete overhaul of federally subsidized school lunch programs. But will all the changes be for the better? Possibly not, according to some experts and studies. The changes, implemented over a period of years, aim to limit calories, reduce sodium and increase the consumption of vegetables and whole grains. "Improved nutrition is a laudable goal, but the realities of science and nutrition may surprise the government,â€? said Morton Satin of the Salt Institute in Alexandria, Va. "Scientific studies show that kids are more likely to eat their vegetables if they have adequate salt.â€? "The promotion of healthy food choices in schools should be driven by knowledge and understanding of science and nutrition,â€? Satin said. Dark green vegetables are among the most nutritious foods. However, they all contain very bitter phytochemicals that affect their palatability. Broccoli is a perfect example. Adding salt to these vegetables makes them taste much better. "There is a natural concern by some as to whether the current salt reduction ideology may end up having a negative impact on nutritious food choices and overall health,â€? Satin added. A recent research paper from the University of Pennsylvania examined the response of tasters to varying amounts of salt in a range of foods that were naturally bitter, including vegetables and other foods deemed to be healthy. Reducing the salt intake made these foods less appealing, and as a result adversely affected the tasters' nutrient intake. In another double-blind taste panel study conducted at Ohio State University, cooked broccoli was fed to individuals from three different age groups: children, adults and senior citizens. The broccoli florets were prepared with different levels of salt and the results made it clear that, even though participants were unaware as to which sample was which, salt significantly increased broccoli's palatability. Both children and seniors liked broccoli better with more salt on it — up to 350 mg per 85 g serving of broccoli, the highest level of salt used for these two groups. For both children and adults, the broccoli's bitterness decreased as the level of salt increased. "Based upon these results, it is likely that policies promoting population-wide restriction of salt in foods may result in significant segments of the population responding by avoiding the more bitter, but far more nutritious food choices or simply reaching for the salt shaker to make bitter better,â€? Satin says. In the United Kingdom similar actions backfired. Their government outlawed the use of salt in schools in 2005. Writing in the UK Telegraph, journalist Paul Eastham complained that, since the school ban on salt- shakers, his 14-year-old daughter stopped eating vegetables, because they were so bland. "All the goodness they promise to deliver remains untouched on the plate — a complete waste of nutrients, health potential s ,5.#(%3 0AGE $%&)!.#% !2%!9-#! #(),$#!2% h4HE (APPENING 0LACEv &UN ,EARNING #HRISTIAN 6ALUES &ITNESS /PEN TO THE 0UBLIC !- 0- 0LEASE *OIN 5S &OR /UR /0%.

From diapers to baby furniture and day care, the costs for new parents mount quickly. For some, the reality of these expenses is daunting. Others are completely unaware of how the joy of a new child will impact their financial situation. So, just how much does a baby cost? The answer depends on many factors. Does one parent stay at home or does the family hire a child care provider? Will the child attend public or private school? Is there a need for a larger home or car for the growing clan? Raising a child costs an average of nearly $11,000 the first year and more than $220,000 for the first 18 years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. So where do expecting and new parents start? Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers these five "baby stepsâ€? to help them prepare. 1. Start early. During your pregnancy, take the time to determine your family's immediate financial needs as well as your long-term goals. 2. Create a realistic budget. Determine the true cost of what you will need and weigh it against the new realities of your household income situation. This is particularly important if you plan on leaving the workforce for an extended period of time. Consult another new parent for a list of monthly baby expenses to get a clear picture of those costs. 3. Start and/or increase an emergency fund. The chances of unexpected expenses will become much greater once the little one comes on the scene. 4. Get protection through proper insurance. It's time to face your own mortality and vulnerability. Protection is critical. Consult with a financial representative to insure your health, property, income and life through appropriate insurance. In addition, consider a juvenile life insurance policy when your child is born. Also, be sure to update the beneficiary designation on your own policies once the baby is born. "For new parents, one of the biggest financial priorities we hear about is their desire to protect their family's financial future,â€? says Bruce Fear, vice president of protection products and solutions for Thrivent Financial. "The foundation of this protection starts with having the proper insurance in place in case of an unexpected event. This can provide some peace of mind to many parents.â€? 5. Save for college. Before you know it your child will leave the nest, so start saving for junior's college experience now. A financial professional can assist with the various investment tools available today for college savings. Furthermore, opening a savings account in the child's name is a great starting point for depositing monetary gifts given to the child. Supporting a family is hard work. Having the knowledge and tools you need to help ensure your financial stability will make the journey less complicated and even more rewarding.

And for the most part, babies are pretty positive about those types of activities too — except when it comes to their introduction to "tummy time.â€? "I'll never forget the first time I put my son on his stomach for 'tummy time' like the pediatrician had recommended,â€? says Sarah Sawyer, a mother of three from Denver, Colo. "Within a few seconds he was red in the face and screaming at the top of his lungs. His little head flopped around and I could tell he was miserable. I was heartbroken that I had put him through this, and I knew I had to find a way to make the experience more fun and comfortable for him.â€? In 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics began recommending parents put their babies to sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Since its inception, the Back-to-Sleep Campaign is credited with reducing SIDS deaths by 50 percent. With babies spending so much time on their backs, however, they may be missing out on the important developmental and physical benefits of having time on their tummies. Plus, babies who lay on their backs too long may develop bald, or even flat, spots on their heads. To combat these problems, pediatricians now recommend parents place infants on their tummies for supervised playtime. Newborns, however, often rebel against being placed on their stomachs for play. Most babies eventually learn to enjoy tummy time as their motor skills and physical strength improve. Still, finding ways to make tummy time as fun and comfortable as possible — as soon as possible — can make the experience more positive for both baby and ARA Content Photo More and more pediatricians are recommending parents place their infants on their tummies for supervised play times. parents. Here are some tips for making tummy time fun for baby and stress free for parents: — Comfort is key. Make sure baby is dressed in comfy, loose-fitting clothes that allow ease of movement. Choose the floor surface carefully. Avoid hard or slippery surfaces. Consider using a play product specifically designed for tummy time, such as the Boppy Tummy Play Pad. Available in designs for boys and girls, the generously sized pad creates a comfortable spot for baby to play in a prone position and includes stimulating, repositionable toys to keep her entertained. Boppy is the same company that makes the popular feeding pillow. — Company makes it more fun. While your baby is on her tummy, get down on the floor beside her, as close to her level as possible, so she can see you are with her. Remember, many babies object to tummy time because it limits what they can see and do. If your baby sees you beside her -- making funny faces, offering a toy or even just holding eye contact -- she's likely to feel more secure. — Start out slowly. Long periods on her tummy, when she's not used to the position, can be stressful for any baby. Instead of attempting a marathon session all at once, ease your baby into the experience, starting out with a minute or less of tummy time. Pick her up, soothe and comfort her, and try again. And learn to read baby's signs of when she's had enough. — Give her props. Giving baby a new perspective by propping her up under her arms may help make tummy time more fun for her. If your baby has some control of her head and neck, which often occurs by 4 months, a pillow under her armpits may give her the elevation she needs to enjoy tummy time. The Boppy Tummy Play Pad comes with a built-in pillow that fits perfectly under baby's armpits to prop her up. — Safety should never be secondary. Tummy time is ultimately intended to benefit babies by helping them develop strength and motor skills. If you see your baby is tiring or if she is unable to shift her head to the side from a facedown position, pick her up immediately and try again later when she's well-rested. Never leave a baby alone on the floor or any other surface; adult supervision is a must for safety. Most babies learn to enjoy tummy time. "The time when babies are this helpless is so short and sweet, you'll probably find yourself missing your baby's tummy time days when he's toddling around getting into everything he can reach,â€? said Sawyer.

"My daughter might not touch the 'bland' vegetables at school, but at home — where she is allowed to use salt — she clears her plate.â€? The World Health Organization points to iodized salt as key to eliminating iodine deficiency disorders, one of the most common — and preventable — world-wide causes of brain damage. The WHO calls iodized salt a "spectacularly simple, universally effective, wildly attractive and incredibly cheap 'weapon' against childhood mental retardation.â€? "Salt is a necessary nutrient,â€? Satin notes. "Without adequate intake, serious consequences arise. If the United States continues down a path of forced sodium reduction, with no recognition of the science indicating many negative effects of such reduction, American children may have more serious worries than bland food and a diet lacking in vegetables. In some countries where pregnant women and children do not consume enough iodized salt, cognitive development is a serious problem in children. This is a problem remedied many years ago in the United States through the iodization of salt.â€? While proponents of the school lunch sodium reduction campaign may have the best of intentions for children, some science and health experts are skeptical. "I predict a lot of salad and vegetables will go in the trash can at local schools,â€? said Lisa Katic, a registered dietician.

(ARA) — Motivating your children to do well in school can be one of the most important — yet challenging — things you can do as a parent. If your children are inspired at a young age to set and achieve long-term goals, and earn good grades in the process, they're more likely to succeed in the future. But igniting that spark is no easy task. Perhaps in addition to giving praise and a hug for good grades, you take them out to dinner or to their favorite amusement park. But cash and material items might be more motivational, a recent online poll indicates. A majority of kids and parents backed "earning for learning." In fact, three out of four kids, and 60 percent of parents agree that incentives can help reinforce good behavior while helping children learn about money, according to the poll of more than 1,200 parents and children conducted by the Northwestern Mutual Foundation's financial literacy website, Themint.org. When asked which incentives might motivate kids, children and adults combined agreed that physical motivators like "cash rewards" (19 percent) and "desired items" (23 percent) like clothes, games or an iPod were more influential than experiential incentives like "a special dinner at a favorite restaurant" (12 percent) or "a trip to a theme ARA Content Photo A recent online poll indicates that cash and material gifts may be better motivation for good grades than some other common incentives. park, water park or other attraction" (4 percent). Parents may be encouraged to hear that kids ranked parents' praise and encouragement comparably to cash rewards or desired items, garnering 27 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent support, respectively. "Parents should take away from this the message that their praise and the positive examples they set are very powerful in shaping kids' long-term habits, and rewards can provide extra inspiration for some students to succeed when it comes to report cards," said Janie Schiltz, of Northwestern Mutual. TEXTING From Page 10 timely information directly to women three times a week wherever they are at that moment," said Judy Meehan, Chief Executive Officer of the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB) which administers the program. In its first year, text4baby is already reaching more than 125,000 women thanks to an unprecedented partnership between the nonprofit HMHB and private sector and government partners including the White House Office on Science and Technology Policy, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CTIA — The Wireless Foundation and Voxiva. Johnson & Johnson is the program's founding sponsor. Now, through a multi-million dollar, Praise and rewards often work hand-in-hand. For adults in the workforce, paychecks and performance bonuses are great motivators, but praise and encouragement are also important parts of job satisfaction and can be drivers for good performance. Kids aren't so different — many likely need both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to feel a full sense of achievement. If you decide to provide rewards for school success, think about sitting down with your kids at the beginning of the school year or semester to agree about their goals and the rewards they're eligible to receive. When all is said and done, of course, the decision is personal. Every child is unique, so parents should consider incentives that work best for their family. Here are some tips to consider: — Start by focusing on what you will reward. Is it focused on a specific grade? Improvement? Effort? An accomplishment? What is the timeline — the full school year or will you offer quarterly incentives? — If you have more than one child, do you have different expectations for each child? What you expect for one child may not be the same expectations for a different child. — Talk to your children. Explain the expectations and the rewards. If a child understands what is expected and what the reward might be, he is far more likely to work for the reward. — What kind of reward are you negotiating? The rewards may depend on the child. If your family does not eat out often, and the child thinks a restaurant is a big deal, allowing the child to choose a restaurant as a reward might be a great incentive. For other children, financial rewards or prizes may be a better choice. Choose a reward that you are comfortable with providing, and that is appropriate for the expectations. — If your child receives a weekly allowance, consider a "bonus" for the child. For example, if the child receives a $5 per week allowance, give her an extra $5 as a one week bonus. For older students, you could consider a larger quarterly bonus. This type of format is similar to the way a bonus might be provided in the "adult" world. M J.

New features of the expanded program include increased interactivity, such as quizzes, to reinforce comprehension. There are also more opportunities to gather user feedback in order to better serve moms. "Pregnancy and motherhood bring a great deal of joy into a woman's life, but they also bring new and unique responsibilities," said Elizabeth "Betty" T. Jordan, a registered nurse and director of the undergraduate program at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. "Text4baby gives expectant and new mothers critical information they need so they can take charge of their health and the health of their babies in partnership with their care provider during pregnancy and the critical first year of life." Sample text4baby messages include: — "Need free or low-cost health care for you & your baby? Your state has programs to help. Call 877-543-7669 to find out if you qualify." — "Talk to your Dr. about getting a flu shot. Pregnant moms & babies can get very sick from flu. For info call CDC at 800-2324636." — "Did you get info from your Dr. on newborn screening tests? If not, ask for it. Your baby will have these tests in the first 48 hours after birth."

Hiking Lago di Coldai, Dolomites
We packed a picnic and took the cable car from Alleghe to Col dei Baldi via Balta Scouattolo. Once we arrived, we hiked 1.5hrs up to the Lago di Coldai. Stunning! We had our lunch and snoozed in the sunshine. We continued exploring then headed back in time for the last chair lift. Since it's our last day in Italy we stopped for a (very disappointing) gelato. We got some groceries for dinner and headed back to the van. An excellent ...

Very happy to see blue sky this morning! And you should see the snow on the top of the mountains after the wether we've had! Incredible! We walked to town for a hot chocolate so we could use the wifi, got some groceries and we also bought a new blanket! A really warm and fluffy Dolomites elf blanket.

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) calls on Japanese classification society Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) to close its Tehran office
ClassNK maintains an office in Tehran and provides certification for two Iranian radio firms that service Iranian shipping companies.
In a July 12, 2012 letter to ClassNK Chairman and President Noboru Ueda, UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, wrote:
By providing services to these companies, ClassNK is directly facilitating the operations of Iran's shipping sector, an action that enables the Iranian government to circumvent multilateral sanctions that have been imposed to prevent it from further developing its illegal nuclear weapons program.
The argument that ClassNK does not directly service Iranian vessels is without merit. The certification services provided by ClassNK to Arya Azhand Darya and Persia Hormoz Shipyard, two radio firms that service Iranian vessels, amounts to the functional equivalent of support for Iran's shipping industry.
Of particular concern to UANI is that the Persia Hormoz Shipyard is directly linked to the Iran Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries Complex ("ISOICO"), a subsidiary of the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran ("IDRO"). IDRO is a regime-controlled entity dedicated to advancing the development of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
In December 2011, the Japanese government sanctioned SADRA ("Iran Marine Industrial Company"), a sister company of ISOICO, as an entity that "could contribute to Iran's sensitive nuclear proliferation activities and development of nuclear weapons transport systems."

From Our Editors
Recipes give insight into a culture, and chef and restaurateur Barbara Sibley deeply understands this seemingly simple concept. Originally born and raised in Mexico City, Barbara furthered a passion for indigenous cuisines while studying anthropology in college. She then devoted years to researching and collecting Mexican recipes from as far back as the 1600s, and in the process, she steadily became an ambassador for the culinary techniques and ingredients that define authentic Mexican cuisine. In addition to sharing this expertise with CBS New York, the Food Network, and cooking classes, Barbara published a collection of 75 recipes in her cookbook—Antojitos: Festive & Flavorful Mexican Small Plates. If the cookbook is a reference source, then a meal at La Palapa is an immersive learning experience. Barbara drew upon her research as well as her extensive culinary experience when she founded the restaurant, designing a pan-regional menu of familiar staples and little-known gems that the New York Times hailed as "fascinating." Mexico City–style tacos brim with chili-rubbed pork and pineapple or corn sautéed in assertively herbal epazote, and grilled duck breast arrives in a decadently complex Oaxacan mole sauce made with 26 ingredients. Tradition remains of the utmost importance though, and Barbara takes care to hand make everything from cheese to chorizo in-house. La Palapa takes its name from the Spanish word for the palm-thatched shelters that adorn Mexican beaches: an image that complements the restaurant's casual and inviting ambiance. The dining room manages to embrace its roots by prominently displaying images of Mexico City from the 17th century as well as modern sculptures inspired by pre-Columbian ceramic figures. Although the brickwork archways contribute to this sense of antiquity, La Palapa also features a handful of modern touches, including hourglass-shaped pendant lamps, a jukebox, and levitating barstools.

Wisconsin Turkey Tag Leftovers on Sale March 23rd
Hunters are reminded that excess spring turkey permits go on sale starting at 10 a.m. Monday, March 23. Nearly 70,900 permits for six zones and several hunting periods are available.
"Be sure to check the map to confirm the zone you're interested in," said Diane Brookbank, licensing director for the state Department of Natural Resources. "We have consolidated last year's 46 zones to just seven larger turkey zones this spring, so the zone number you're used to buying probably changed. Knowing your zone is really important as permits for one zone will be sold per day. We don't want anyone to miss out."
Hunters who want to recheck zone boundaries or the number of permits still available in a specific zone, can do so on the turkey zone map and the turkey permit availability page of the DNR Web site.
Leftover permits will be sold one zone per day. Sales will start at 10 a.m. each day and run through midnight. Each zone will have a designated sales date as follows:
- • Zone 1 – Monday, March 23
- • Zone 2 – Tuesday March 24
- • Zone 3 – Wednesday, March 25
- • Zone 4 – Thursday, March 26
- • Zones 5 & 6 – Friday, March 27. Due to the low number of permits left in these units, the sale has been combined into one day.
- • There are no leftover permits in Zone 7.
- • There are no leftover permits for time periods A, B or C in any zone.
Any permits still remaining for all zones will be sold starting Saturday, March 28 at 10 a.m. and continuing until sold out or the season ends.
Leftover permits can be purchased over the Internet through the Online Licensing Center link on the DNR home page (click on Hunting & Fishing Licenses and Permits under Online Services); by calling toll-free 1-877-WI LICENSE (1-877-945-4236); at license sales locations; or DNR service centers during their regular business hours (check service center link for hours of operation, which vary by service center; service centers are closed Saturdays). Hunters with any questions about when or how to buy permits may call the DNR Customer Call Center from 7 a.m. through 10 p.m. seven days a week at 1-888-WDNRINFo (1-888-936-7463.)
The spring 2009 turkey hunting season will run from April 15-May 24 in six 5-day periods. A total of 7 zones, 15 state parks and Fort McCoy will be open for hunting. The fee for turkey permits is $10 for residents and $15 for nonresidents. All hunters are also required to buy the spring turkey license and stamp unless they have previously purchased the license and stamp, or are a 2009 Conservation Patron License holder. Residents and nonresidents have equal opportunity to purchase over-the-counter permits. Purchasing these permits will not affect preference status for future spring or fall turkey permit drawings.
For updated information on leftover spring permit availability and other information regarding the 2009 spring turkey hunting season, please visit the Wild Turkey page of the DNR Web site.
